LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2018

DRINK  SEASONAL

BY TARA LUXMORE PHOTOGRAPHY BY VINCE NOGUCHI & READY For the easiest matches ever, we’ve paired ready-to-drink cocktails, wines and a beer with store-bought desserts that bring out the best in each other— effortless ends to summer dinner parties.

brie topped with blackberry orange coulis + chiarli castelvetro lambrusco A rich, buttery cheese like double-cream brie is a great match for a bubbly, fruity wine like a Lambrusco ( LCBO 604, $10.35), especially when you top the cheese with our Blackberry Orange Coulis (recipe page 149). The vino’s vibrant carbonation cleanses the palate after each creamy bite and its semi-sweet quality contrasts the brie’s saltiness and umami rind. This Italian sparkler pours a deep purple and has aromas of crushed blueberries and a light earthiness.
